Huawei e169 USB UMTS GPRS Modem

I have the Huawei e169 USB UMTS Modem and want to make it work under Opensolaris. In the Opensolaris.org-Forums I found two Threads [1, 2] about this Topic (just with other Hardware).Problem with this Device is: If you plug it in, it first shows up as a Storage Device (wich contains the Driver-Software for WinXP). But if you connect it before you start your Engine, there's no Problem.Before you can use the Modem, you have to associate it with the driver "usbsacm":

host:# update_drv -a -i 'usb12d1,1001' usbsacm//NOTE: This is for the e169 ONLY, you have to// replace the bold Numbers with those appropiate// for your devicehost:# devfsadm

Before you can dial-in, you have to create (or copy) several files located under /etc/ppp and /etc/ppp/peers. You can copy the isp-chat and the isp-Script from [1] and change it to your needs (dial-in-number, username, password, accesspoint; replace isp with the name of your Internet Service Provider).If you have a Multiprocessor-System, then you have to disable all Cores except one. Otherwise the Connection will drop, when you start browsing the Internet with Firefox (BUG: 6719062)!

host:# psrinfo// returns the cpushost:# psradm -f // this disables the cpu with that number// with psradm -n you can enable the cpu
